  • Patent number: 4794384
    Abstract: An optical translator device capable of providing information indicative of the amount and direction of relative movement between the device and a surface positioned relative thereto. The device comprises a light source for providing at least partially coherent radiation and the source radiation is directed toward an area of the surface area. The reflected coherent radiation or light at the surface area undergoes optical interference due to the texture of the surface thereby forming a speckle pattern consisting of light and dark features. A detector array at the device comprises a plurality of photodetector cells and positioned in the path to receive the reflected light and to detect the light and dark features as represented by the cells in the array detecting light features in the reflected light thereby representative of a sample of the speckle pattern. Means is provided to compare consecutively produced samples which are indicative of the translatory information.
